There's a new traffic pattern on North Street in Danbury. Over the past week, the number of lanes open between the exit 6 ramps and Hayestown Avenue have changed a few times. State Department of Transportation officials say the major construction will be ongoing for several more months.
Temporary concrete barriers along the exit 5 westbound off ramp should be removed soon. There will be various lane closures at the exit 6 off ramp during the rest of the work.
The exits 5 and 6 and North Street-Padanaram Road project started in April 2015, and is not slated for completion until next summer. Crews continue building a retaining wall along North Street to expand the road to two lanes in each direction.
